TIIE LONDON JOURNALS., DAILY Extracts from the Morning Popers,Aprit 15,1826. [ME TIMES. -Itr is by no discouraging division. that Mr. Abercromby's motion for the reform of the elec tioneering, oligarchy of Edinburgh has been de featedohere being only a majority of 25 in a 'house consisting of 219 members. We have sel dotn seen Parliamentary , Reform combated on any occasion, on which the enemies of the mea sure have not beet/ • driven to adopt some prin ciple or other, much more radical and jacobini cal than those with which , the real reformers are taunted. Thus it was'objected sneeringly to Mr. Abercromby, that he was the ?epresentative of a close borough, Caine, and that therefore he should be the last man to attempt the reform of the present corrupt system. Why, if all the mock4epresentatives of close boroughs are to be silent, and take no active part in the business of the House, they might as well be turned out of it altogether, and then we should have a Par liament consisting only of Members returned by popular election ; which is something more, we apprehend, than the most furious re former ever proposed, or hoped for themselves: It was asserted that, Edinburgh had thriven with its present detestable oligarchic franchise, exer cised by thirty-three privileged individuals.' We have heard that city called " the Northern Athens." The old Athens also, itself—the really celebrated Athens—had once the felicity of being governed .by pretty nearly the same number of persons, gefierally known in history as St The Thirty Tyrants :" and we have no doubt but that the friends, adherents, and dependents of these gentlemen,boasted in like mariner the thriv ing state of their country ; and alleged that state • as the surest proof that the then government of die thirty tyrants was the wisest and hl lt I hat , ':ould be devised. However, to render the cases wholly similar, Edinburgh ought not to be, as she is, the parcel and poitioil of a vast empire, in the wealth of which she participates ; hut, like Athena, the head of a separate and independent state ; and then we should have seen how she had thriven under the oligarchy of thirty-three. But Edinburgh , has thriven, though her members are chosen only by thirty.three persons out of a population of 130,000 ! And we should like to know if the cities of Westminster and of London, , he elections of which are .popular, have declined in wealth and coosequence during the same period in which Edinburgh has been improving ; or if Manchester, Sheffield, and Birmingham, haviog, no elections nor representatives at all, have also wasted and declined during the same period ? Of such value is the argumeotderived from thriv irtg. No wonder that Edinburgh is dragged along in the general career of improvment in which the whole empire has been advancing ; but her ihirty•thre . e electors, and their representatives, have had as much , to do with that improve meat as those other thirty worthies - mentioned above, who have been enjoying such rest as God allows to the wicked for upwards of two thousand years. We are always sorry, ,on a grave subject, to find one of those " speeches,!' which only serve to , irritate. The defence of an 'obvious wrong might at least' he conducted with 'modesty; Others act with more address and prudence. " The brazening it out," in the 'manner of a certain Right Bon. Gen tleman, ca 4inswer 110 useful purpose. Pauciq of electors," it was said, " is no reason for dis. I franchising a borough." , But • panc;ty of electors l is at least it reason for adding to the nututter without disfranchising the old owes.

However ehiPCtionable the Poor laws in:ly have becoiro• in practice (and (hurl. cannot a more striking instance olit• than that to which we allude), no men can look impartially at their provisions, and not perceive that they are grounded on, principles of juatice and numanity, in the highest de gree.honourable to the country, and which now thing bat the ignorance, `'or the interested and perverted judgMent, of those who have had the eXi , VOtinti of them could bring any discredit opoo.'

But what must: became of these desirable and indispensa ble reqUitthesin those who unite both characters' in theme elves, atitt who remove, Imprison, punish', and hi some cases almost stervA, the unfortunate objects of their incem'patilile jurisdiction ? In most Of the'large parishes of the Metropolis it has be.' comic the practice, of late years, to get some two or three of it must- actiVe Members of , the , Ves. , ~, trie s mane magistrates, &untie purpose of transact ing at the respective Workhouses the. votiottS mat fers 'required by the parish ; mid (hits a ilanper, 'instead of being brought :before Magistrates at en °P" Petty Sessiousi or a Police..office, where his fairly h ear d, M • story , eutild be f ind s ...agistrate brottitiabefore bum, and that Magistrate one of the vary persotis perhaps most interested in the act which he performs. But bad as this practice is, as applied to the English poor, it is ten time& worse, and more oppressive, when applied to the execu tion of that harsh law, by which Scotch and Irish paupers, havi i ng gained no settlement in England, are sent home. As far as the Irish are concerned, nothing, we believe, has tended more to keep alive unfriendly feelings in the lower class of people to wards this country, than the harsh and indiscri minating provisions of this statute ; but which might be, in a great degree, mitigated, were it executed with something like judgment, forbear ance, and humanity. But how is that likely to be the case, when the smallest application for re lief is generally a signal for the Magistrates, in their double capacity of such and of parish of ficers, sending these poor creatures off in shoals to Ireland, unheard, and to the great gain of the pawnbrokers, who have, generally possession of their little stock of clothes, which they had pledged, before they would apply for temporary aid to the parishes, many of which they have en riched. by their labour, to an extent which the buildings long going on, in and about London, and the fact of Irish labourers forming, at least, one half of the artificers, fully confirm ? These are some of the blessings of the vestry system—a system at variance with every principle of sound policy ; and which carries in its train an amount of oppression and taxation, which the Legislature - itself cannot exercise, and which, therefore, it is high time these petty legislatures were de prived of. [NIORNING CHRONICLE.] His Majesty had so much recovered from his late severe indisposition, that it was expected he would leave the Royal Lodge in the present weeli• We regret, however, to state, that his Majesty has experienced another attack of the gon't. On Sunday his Majesty attended divine service at his Private Chupel, adjacent to the Royal Lodge, and shortly after he was attacked with gout, which continued until yesterday. The Physicians, who attended his Majesty during his lute illness, immediately proceeded to the Royal Lodge, and continued in attendance on his Ma jesty until yesterday, when they had the satis faction of announcing that his Majesty had per fectly recovered. his Majesty had expressed his intention to return to town in a few days, and which arrangement, it is believed, will be curried into effect. The Duke of Welling ton has, we learn, reach. ed Berlin, un his return. He was extremely , well received by the Emperor ; but has failed to effect any thing, and tins question of war or peace with Turkey remains precisely where it did, except ing that the desire for war in the people and army is much more ardent than when his Grace left England. We are given to. understand that the Empress Mother (who governs) must be added to the people and army. The fall of Missolongld, and the complete prostration of the*G reeks, will not, probably, indispose the Rus sians to warlike operations against the Turks. The independence of Greece must have beet-. almost as great an eye-sore to the Itt,sian ppli tician, as the Turkish sway. There is but too much ground to fear that hostilities, in the end, will take place. Our readers will see from our Extracts from French Papers, that the report of the Duke's return had produced a gloomy impres sion on 'Change.---(ibid.) rNEw TIMES.] We insert, in another part of our Paper, a report of the meeting of the Merchant Seamens' Bible Society. The meeting was very interesting, chiefly from the testimony to the advantiges arising from the labours of the Society, Larne by the Noble Chairman, Lord Exmouth, and more especially by Captain Parry, who feel ingly experienced them, during the long dark winters that he spent among the ices of the Nortit There are elements in the character of tile British seaman that render him, at once, the object of love and terror. In the hour of battle and of storm, he exhibits, us Dibdin has' prettily observed, the courage anti bravery of the lion ; and, in peace, and. in the calm, the simpli city and playfulness of the lamb. He mingles the attributes of a hero and of a little child.-- What 'a pity that a character so noble and Sn amiable should ever he degraded by rude riot and debauchery ! Yet how many - excuses may poor Jack plead, which. cannot 'be pleaded by those who live on land.— Instead of wondering that- the severity of privation which lie suffers in ,a long voyage should be exchanged, on revisiting the green earth, for over indulgence, we should rather wonder that his ex cesses bear so small a proportion to his former oh .stittence.. Without religion, without a looking for. ward to purer end better state of being, man is a poor miserable being:' But man, surrounded by the blandishments of society, who has the felicities (for they are so,` even when un. sanctified) of friends and sacred home, is in a very different state with respect to com fort from the traveller on the lonely deep.-- . -. H e nce religion; whose mine, is ever enchanced by the absence of worldly pleasures, has peculiar charms to the sailor. That the knowledge of the will of God must make men better, even accord ing to mens' wisdom, seems to Us indisputable ; and could we for a moment entertain a doubt of it, the doubt would be removed by what Capt. if left to his choice, he would Parry stated, that, never take with him a seaman vthia had not - a sense of religion.

FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the Eeoile, dated Thursday, April 13.) PAIIIB, APRIL 12.—The Austrian Observer of the 3d gives the following particulars of the tak ing of Vassiladi and Anatolico : Letters from Corfu say, that the news of the taking of Vassiladi is confirmed. A bomb, which fell into•the powder magazine of the fort and set fire to it, decided the affair. The garrison of 200 men made a most desperate resistance, and with the exception of a few individuals was massacred. Ibrahim then proceeded to attack the fortified tow► of Anatolico, near Missolonghi, and took it on the 13th. A . letter from Prevesa, of the 15th, speaks as follows of this event : 4 4 After the taking of Vassiladi, Ibrahim pre pared to attack Anatolica. His gun-boats pro ceeded by the canal of Pore, near which the Greeks on the continent occupied towards the west) a fortified convent 'named KundrOw, the batteries of which fired on the Turkish boats. Ibrahim sent a detachment by way of Stamma to take the convent. The attack and the defence were equally vigorous; the place was stormed, and the garrison of 400 men was put to the sword, a few only escaping by flight. The loss of the I Turks was also considerable ; they had nearly 200 men killed, and the Barnes Aga Was wounded. 44 The garrison of ,Anatolico, which saw this event, considered farther resistance useless, and offered to capitulate. Men and women ran to the beach and asked to be spared. Ibrahim, who was encamped at a short distance in the vil lage of Vinachia, hastened to the spot in person, and granted to the garrison, after they should have laid down their arms, and to the inhabi tants, permission to retire towards Arta, un molested ; and to take away as many of their effects as they could. Some days before this, 100 Turkish prisoners, who Here at Anatolico, were massacred by the Greeks. " During these events at Kundrow and Ana tolico, , he Greeks, to the number of 700, made a 'ally from Missolonghi. The action was des perate-300 Greeks were killed, and the re mainder, for the most part, wounded, precipi tately returned to the city. The Turks, too, lost a great many men, among whom were the Topschi-Baschi (chief of the artillery), the Bairaktar (standard bearer), and a Baluk Aga (Colonel) who was killed just as he was seizing a Greek standard. The Lord High Commissioner, Sir Fred. Adam, who on the 13th went towards Missolonghi, on , board the Naiad frigate, Cap tain Spencer, which arrived last night from Mis solonghi, at Cephalonia, returned this evening (the 20th) to Corfu. Since his arrival a report has been spread, that with the intention of sparing the effusion of blood at Missolonghi, which was reduced to extremities, he had'again offered his mediation, but that it was rejected by the Greeks." . PA [lts, Aram is believed, that several of the individuals who, on the 20th March 1815, entered Paris with torches in their hands, nod were part of the sacral battalion of Buonaparte, entered Miasolonghi the ‘2oth March 182 G. it Is well known that lt►rahia►'s confidant Selves, who when i he turned Mabornetan took the name of Solt►rtan Bey, was aid,de-camp to Marshal Ney. Yesterday the. King . presided, at ten o'clock, in a Council of Ministers, because to-day was the anniverstiry, of the 12th April, a report was immediately spread on 'Change of a change of Ministry,and of war between Rtissia and Turkey ; these reports caused the funds to decline one franc. :The Exchange is • shut today, it being the anniversary of tlie King's return to Paris. The Augsburg Gazette, which had announced the taking •ef Missolongid, says nothing of it to. day. Hitherto we have no accounts of this event besides the details given by two Morning Papers. Severaloilkmanufactures of Lyons assembled lately to deliberate on an offer made to the French. Government to import from England into France 000 machines, which our manufacturers, do not yet possess, in return for 509 looms, called 'Tires and . Jacquards. In consequence of this deliberation, they pronounced against, this proposition, and ad dressed urgent representations to the President of the Council and.the Minister of the Interior, in order to procure its. rejeCtion. hi is added, that the Chamber of Commerce strongly seconded the petition of the manufacturers, both with the Mi nister and with the Deputation of the Ithone. A fall took place to-day of the Funds. It h a s been attributed to several causes, butparticularly to certain news received from Petersburg!), ae• cording to which the Duke of Wellington has failed in his negotiation at that Court., , Such are the reports circulating for the last two • days in the political circles. We are not prepared to warrant their truth ; but•we state them as having a species of consistency, and having influenced our public.. funds. The news from Trieste, stating, that the English flag bad been seen flying on the walls of that place, is therefore false.— (Note of the Observer.) . .• Mrs. SALMON.---A bout a week or 'ten ago, we very innocently copied from some Morning Paper, a paragraph to the following effect ;.-:-. 4 4• Th e lien physicians have pronounced. Mrs. Salmon's voice totally irrecoverable." This morning we received a letter, purporting to be from the' above lady, and dated Paris, April the 10th, in which we are assured that her voice is not only not lost, but that it is better than ever. From the tone of the, letter, we suspect this fact would be demonstrated to our entire satisfaction, if the. remonstrance had been made personally. However, as we have ever been ardent admirers of her fine musical talents, we rejoice to learn, that she has had no occasion to consult any phy. sician, Italian or French, since her absence ; that " change of scene and climate has restored her spirits, and completely re-established her health." and that her ,4 musical powers are improved rather than diminished, and that she is p er f ect l y qualified to res ume h er profession at any moment she, may feel inclined." We can assure Mrs Salmon, that whatever of " hatted or envy," there may have been in the " fabrication" of right in supposing that we " are above l en di n g which sh alt) ve h ement ly complains, s h e i s qu i te ourselves to such wickednesS."—(l4:venink Pa per.)

Yesterdny the Subscribers and Friends to this Institution held their Eighth Anniversary, at the City of Lon. don Tavern, Bishopsgate.street, Lord Viscount EXMOUTII in the Chair. The Noble CIIAIRMAN expressed his happiness at seeing that the Mariner had so many friends willing to provide for his eternal, as well as his temporal wants. It had been objected, that when a sailor became religious, he was unfitted for the performance of his duty ; but, in the long experience that he (Lord Exmouth) had in the Navy - of Great Britain, he would fearlessly assert, that the best and most honest men were those who were most religiously inclined. The progressive improve ment which had taken place during the last few years, in the habits of sailors, was the best evidence that could be adduced in proof of the utility of such Institutions. The Secretary then read the Report, which was of consider able length, It stated that the' number of Bibles and Testa thents sold or distributed during the past considerably exceeded that of the preceding years, and that sailors were much more willing to receive the Scriptures than they had formerly been. The total number issued by the Society since its formation was stated to be—Tlibles, 10,4.30, and Testaments, 11,380, being nearly five times greater than the issue had been expected. The • Reverend ANDREW BRENDROM, Secretary to the Parent Society, moved the adoption of the Report. It gave bite great ' pleasure to notice the progress which religion was Making in many of the Continental nations. Ac. counts had been received, that at the ports of Bremen and Hambtirgh,' orders hail been given to supply copies .of the sacred Scriptures to all seamen who would receive them, and the King of Prussia had issuers a decree for the priming cif the whole Bible for the use of his vast dominions, as his 'ajesty . was determined no longer to be content with a part 'of that Invaluable book. The dissolute conduct of British Sailors in former times had led foreigners to think that Eng- I land was not a Christian country, but happily that odium was rapidly passing away from the national character. A great moral improvement had been effected titrou;.,'li the instrumenta lity of Bible Societies, and in a town in Wiltshire, where an adult school had been established, he knew of two individuals so eager to get a knowledge of the Scriptures, that they had ' learnt to read at the age of 70 years.._( Hear, hear ! ) • JOHN PENNY MusPRATT, Esq., a Director of the Hon. East India Company, seconded the motion. It should be re collected that it was to the unshaken valour of Seamen that England Was indebted for the peace under which she was now 1 reposing : there was no class of the community more deserving Of consideration, and he trusted that in the process of time the Society's funds would enable theM to place a bible in the hands of every seaman belonging to the British navy. • PArtiezit, Esq. moved a vote of thanks to the Ladies' Association. They were always foremost in every work of charity. Captain Gamnlta, it N. seconded the motion. He could bear testimony to the truly beneficial effects which a knowledge of Christianity produced to the sailors. It nor only fitted them for another state, but at the same time inculcated those neces sary virtues'of obedience and good order, which rendered them valiant in the hour of danger. The Rev. Professor Stia.ri, of New Orleans, moved the next resolution for the appointment of officers, &c. for the enatring year. lle was happy on this, the Eighth Annivernrf of. the Society, to learn that so much had been done in belied of the Mariners ; but he regretted that they had been so loifg'neglemed. 'The greatest obligations were due to, seamen. because titer formed the connecting link between countries widely actiarete4, It was a seatßan who had discovered that, New World fr;:a; which he Idle Professor) came. It was to the industry of ma• men that England was indebted for her commerce.; it.." 4 to the valour of seamen, that she now owed her rivet/can from despotism,—(hear, hear !)—and it was to seamen we vi..nl in debted for a great part of that very book, which the Society were endeavouring to put into their h a nds. James. John, and Peter, were seamen. 'rhe Rev. Professor trusted that time So ciety would not relax' its e nd eavours un til the Scriptures were putinto the hands of every seafarin.; man. Captain PARRY rose, amidst loud cheering, to second the motion. In the difficult enterprise in which he had been lately employed, he always found that those who' had time fear of God before them to be the bravest and best men. During the tong and dreary winter which he passed in the northern regions, schools were established on board the ships, and the system of education was not confined merely to instruction in reading and writing only, hut to the religious improvement of the men, and its salutary effects were observable in their conduct whenever occasion presented. The Gallant Captain solemnly protested, that wherever any enterprise of difficulty was to he attempted, he had always selected men who were remarkable for their attention to religious duties, and in no one instance had he occasion to doubt their courage or their perseverance. Were he to be employed in a similar undertaking again, he would, if possible, have no man on the expeditipn that had not a pro. hear !) —( voted to the Noble Chairinan, an d t h e per T f h e a e n lir k : s g w o e cr e ci t ig he io n n. meeting broke up.

This Society had its Anniversary Dinner ofl Thursday, at the City of London Tavern. The Duke •of NORTIIUMBERLAND arrived at six o'clock, and took the . Chair. About 280 Gentleman sat down to dinner. After the cloth was removed, Non. Nobis Domine was chaunted in ex cellent style by Messrs. Pyne, Broadhurst, C,ollyer, C. Taylor, Hawes, &c. The health of the King having been drank, with four times four, The SECRETARY read a letter from his Royal Highness the Duke of York, regretting that absence in the country prevented his attendance at the festival, and signifying his royal pleasure to become their Vice-President for the year ensuing. The letter was received with peculiar marks of approbation. 'roast, " The .Royal Family."—Song, " Hail I Star of Brunswick." Toast, " The Army and Navy."—Glee, " Glorious Apolo." Mr. Justice Gaz su.tE, in rising to propose the health of the Noble Chairman, could not but regret his entire inability to do justice to the obligations which the Society was under to his Grace. His attendance had been frequent in the extrema, and upon no occasion, except one, when he was compelled, from services rendered to his country, had he been absent from their yearly festival. The anxiety of his Grace for the welfare of the Society had been exceeded by none,. and he was ' sorry that at the present moment it did not lay in his power pay a stronger tribute of gratitude towards the Noble Chair man, than by proposing '" The Health of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland," which was drank with enthusiasm. • • The Duke of NonTxuSIBERLANn briefly returned thanks. From the time he first accepted the office which he held in the Society, he had met with such uniform kindness and assistance from all persons connected with it, that it was to him a source of peculiar gratification to assemble amongst them.—His Grace gave— " The health of the whole Company."—Song, " A Beg , ging we will go," by Mr. C. Taylor. In the course of the evening, there was a procession round the room of persons, men, women, and children, who had beer extricated from death by drowning, through the exertions env: recommendations of the Royal Humane Society. The Pronaena. ,- ders consisted of respectable looking persons. They are neatly attired ; held in their hands Bibles, presented to them by the! Society, and did not fail to make a sensible and pleasing effect' upon the visitors. • The Casinstax read the Report, which exhibited the funds as in a thriving condition ; after which medals were distributed' to the following persons for their exertions in successfully , reco vering individuals who had been apparently drowned—To Cap tains Cooke and Cobbe,.Col.
